I am reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini who also wrote "The Kite Runner" I have just started it but so far I am enjoying reading of a culture very different of ours.

I've read the full 50 Shades trilogy and I liked the first two books the best. The third was good, my mother blasted through them and made me read them

Anyways I just finished up the 5 Love Languages and am about to pick out a Frank Peretti book my mother in law gave me. Can't remember the name though, I'll double check.

I am reading "Revolutionary Road" by Richard Yates. I saw the movie a few years back and loved it and have wanted to read the book ever since. It's dark, I know, but I'm glad I'm finally reading it.

The Skinny Rules (Bob Harper)
and I'm thinking about re-reading one of the books on my bookshelf. Not sure which one yet.

Love him! I am reading The Great Husband Hunt by Laurie Graham. Which is nice and easy, and which I sort of enjoy, without ever quite loving it. There are some really funny bits and the narrative is... a unique narrative voice.

And The City and the City by China Mieville. I've read him before: Perdido Street Station and maybe one other, which I wanted to love but couldn't. Language and invention seemed to get in the way of the story, or perhaps the story just felt like a skeleton over which to lay all this weird invention. I'm not sure. I wanted to love it, but couldn't.

Oh, but The City and the City, I am loving. Particularly now that I am used to the made-up names language affectations and acclimatized. I want to go live in Besz (or Ul Qoma) and wander around unseeing everyone else. It is great, really well constructed, a nice noir voice that still feels contemporary and such a great, intricate invention. I love the way it plays on the intersection between eastern Europe and the west, too. And nationalism, myth, loads of other things. Really great.

I am reading a book called Pigeon English by Stephan Kelman, which is amazing, I am really loving it.

I am also re-reading Northern Lights by Philip Pullman for probably the 100th time.

And I am dipping into Food: The Good Girl's Drug and The God Delusion too. I like to have lots of books on the go!

Ahhh, I really loved those books! Actually they're what made me start running a few months ago, so that I would survive a bit longer if I ever had to participate

How are you liking them?

I *loved* the Hunger Games I just finished all three last month...I really didn't think I'd even LIKE them, but my daughter bought the movie and I was hooked.

Right now I'm reading Divurgent (fiction) and The Swing (by Tracy Reifkind, kettlebell workout/diet program although I'm not on that diet). I think I'll read The Cloud Atlas next for fiction.

ETA: How do you like Food: The Good Girl's Drug? I've had the first part on the Kindle forever it seems.
